This should not be happening. Probably the shrimp is died and the fishes are just finishing it up 4 u.....

any possibility that it was stung by the anemone by accident?
it was looking healthy all these while, grabbing food during feeding times...
just couldn't understand why... why...??? why...??? my $10... arrggghhh
buay tahan man...
Quite unlikely. Btw, Juz realised that u have a strawberry & six line wrasse. I'm not too sure abt wat is a strawberry wrasse. But wrasse might attack shrimp that are much smaller than them.

Welcome to the jungle...
strawberry is the full purple dotty back (if i got the name correctly).
Thanks JC.
I guess its a Pseudochromis porphyreus? Anyway Dottybacks are carnivores and feeds on small crustaceans, worms and zooplankton.

Yup, dats the one...
Question on food: currently i feed my fishes with market prawns.
Any long term issue with it? eg. malnutrition?
What do you typically feed them with?
I used to feed omega formula 1 & 2. Sometime with cyclopeeze.

Omega 1 & 2 are fried dry food?
Cyclopeeze is the very fine & floating type is it?
Cyclop-eeze is a unique form of zooplankton, one of the many types of copepods found throughout the earth’s waters. http://www.eaquanature.com/store/pro...roducts_id=509
Formula One is red and, like our frozen and flake products, it is produced with higher protein levels. http://www.eaquanature.com/store/pro...roducts_id=489
Formula Two is green and is for fish with lower protein needs. http://www.eaquanature.com/store/pro...roducts_id=490

I have Cyclop-eeze. the fishes love it.
Lately bought the nutrfin's spirulina algae (flake type), initially was good, but after few weeks, no more flakes, just only powdery leftovers, and had a strange smell, so threw it away.
Also have the nutrafin's slow sinking morsels, still good.
but their fav still prawn meat.
Have you given them squid meat?
I used to feed some home prepared food using prawn, squid, garlic, spirulina algae, and some pellets. The fishes love them but its really potent. Can see my skimmer working overtime. Stopped preparing these food when I start LPS.
